They are the two electrodes: anode and cathode.
potential difference between electrodes
A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure electric potential difference. The voltmeter have two electrodes, reference electrode and test electrode, the electrodes are put in two different places where you want to find the potential difference. For instance, if the test electrode is placed on the positive pole and the reference electrode on the negative pole of a 3V battery, the voltmeter would read '+3 volts'.
potential difference between electrodes
The potential difference in a battery is like the height of the stairs. The amount of charge separated in a battery is like the mass moved up the stairs. The potential energy in the battery is due to both the potential difference (volts) and the amount of charge that has been separated (coulombs).
A battery produces voltage through electrochemical reactions that occur within its cells. It consists of two electrodes, an anode (negative) and a cathode (positive), separated by an electrolyte. When the battery is connected to a circuit, a chemical reaction at the anode releases electrons, which flow through the circuit to the cathode, creating an electric current. The difference in electric potential between the two electrodes generates the voltage that drives this current.
The power source, typically a battery or a generator, supplies the potential difference in the circuit. This potential difference allows charges to flow through the circuit and power the electrical components.
A battery creates potential energy by storing chemical energy within it. This chemical energy is converted into electrical energy when the battery is connected in a circuit, generating a potential difference between the battery's terminals. This potential difference allows the flow of electrons through the circuit, thereby enabling the battery to power electronic devices.
Electrodes... Positive (anode) and Negative (cathode) electrodes which are attached to the terminals. The electrodes provide the chemical energy which is converted to a flow of electrons. And the electrolyte, the electrolyte separates the electrodes but allows for the passages of electrons and ions for the electro-chemical reaction of the electrodes.
